It's been a great run. When I started this, I was only the third DW/HG crossover fic. I've had fun and I hope you all enjoy this ending. This is the first time I've ever ended any story so I hope this is a good way to end it. Keep your eyes peeled, I'll be writing plenty more and the story leading up to this, Bread of on Fire, as well as my three other fanfics. Thank you all for all the reviews and favorites, it's been a wild ride and here's to a great ending!


Jay Mellark was surrounded by all those he deemed closest to him. He stared up at the high vaulted ceilings of the unusual and unfamiliar room. His eyes couldn't focus on anything, but he had the sense that the sight before him was beautiful.

A pool of crimson surrounded his hair, dying his blonde hair with the sticky, thick substance. He could faintly hear the choking sobs of his family, his sister crying.

His sister.

How odd it was to say his sister was alive. After all this time, she was part of the family again. He had grandparents, uncles, they were a real family. He wouldn't be joining them though, there was someone else in the crowd who was becoming clearer.

Her face was every bit as beautiful and angelic as he remembered. She had a sad smile on her face as she looked at him, extending one hand out to him.

Abigail.

Her green eyes showed she was at peace, her long, curly blonde hair lightly billowing around her angelic face. "Come home Jay… Come home please." She whispered in an oh so tempting voice.

He opened her mouth, struggling for words. The mutts had badly damaged his throat and he could feel the life draining from him as quickly as the blood.

He floundered for words. As much as he wanted to be at peace with Abigail, he wasn't ready to leave everyone else. He knew he had no choice in this matter. Snow had won with battle, he had given the Mellark-Everdeen family the blow they needed to bring them to their knees.

"I don't wanna go." He choked as his eyes slid closed.

Katniss screamed as she watched her son take his last breath. Finn pulled her, kicking and screaming from the room as the Doctor froze, leaned over and gave a silent last blessing to the brave young man who had sacrificed his life to free his companion and family.

"May you rest in peace Jay Mellark. Find your Abigail and live happily ever after." He whispered before turning his back to leave, giving the family time to grieve alone.
